[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of enhanced gradient echo T2* weighted angiography (ESWAN) in multiple intracerebral cavernous angioma (CA).Materials and methods: The MRI data of the 47 patients with intracerebral cavernous angioma were retrospectively analyzed. And the sensitivity and specificity of ESWAN were compared with conventional sequences of MRI.Results: In 47 patients, ESWAN showed all the lesions of intracerebral cavernous angioma, and typically showed the sample of popcorn, mulberry or fully hypointensity. The difference of detection among MRI sequences was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: ESWAN is the best sequence which has higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional MR images in the diagnosis of cavernous angioma.
